Newsom’s Trump Act Wins Raves From Democrats

Governor Newsom's social media parody has increased his press account followers by 450% since June and aims to counteract Republican redistricting efforts in Texas, according to CNN.

  • In recent weeks, California Governor Gavin Newsom launched a parody campaign mimicking President Donald Trump's social media rants and using AI-generated images to mock Trump and GOP tactics.
  • To blunt Republican mapmaking, Governor Gavin Newsom unveiled the Election Rigging Response Act last Thursday, prompting the California state Legislature to vote Thursday on a new map tied to Proposition 50's special election ballot.
  • The campaign's digital tactics — all caps posts and nicknames, plus AI images — coincide with daily Google searches for Newsom rising 500 percent since August 1 and press account followers jumping 450 percent since mid-June.
  • The president fired back early Tuesday, amplifying the spat on Truth Social, while Republican commentators and figures called the posts 'childish' and JD Vance questioned Newsom's authenticity.
  • As support climbs, polls show 57 percent of California voters and 84 percent of Democrats back Proposition 50, which would appear on ballots in a special election in November amid Texas congressional map actions.
